No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Thanks IvoI thought so but considered several possibilites, for example that this was the local (Australian) branch campany for distributing the products of a Czech company called Rikaro Sklo or some such .......but it seems not.

I wrote to the company and their response was merely their full name as you showed plus their address.

So they are, yet another re-labeler obscuring the origin of the products they sell, I would guess, to hide their sources from competitors and promote their own "brand"; understandable but short-sighted in my opinion and it seems somehow dishonest yet I doubt they are breaking any law.

If we were talking here about generic glassware for the catering sector - it would be more understandable but it surprises me that a maker of high quality art glass, if indeed it is, would agree to such an arrangement.

I suppose makers have little control over what goes on after they ship their orders and this maker must feel that they have no "brand" to protect. At this rate they never will.

I note that Double Z Entreprises P/L also carry the Desna line but I can't help but wonder if the Rikaro branded items are indeed from Czechoslovakia .... :roll:
